About Web Sniffer
Detailed description
Web Sniffer is a Chrome DevTools panel built for analytics engineers, QA, and developers who need to see exactly what their site sends to various analytics vendors.
What you can do
Capture analytics requests — Filter by URL pattern and vendor preset. See method, status, event count, and decoded JSON for every matching request.
Search & filter events — Build filters from the JSON tree (right-click → Add to Filters). Export HAR or event JSON.
Validate flows — Upload ESS Excel or JSON test suites. Web Sniffer replays browser steps and reports pass/fail for expected events.
Spec Sheet — Import/export Generic ESS workbooks for config, expected events, test steps, and filter presets.
Header & redirect rules — Set/remove headers or redirect matching URLs to mock responses (declarativeNetRequest).
Collections — Save capture snapshots, replay them later, and compare side-by-side against your current session.
Replay requests — Re-fire a captured request in the inspected page context with one click.
Pro features (sign-in required)
Validate, Spec Sheet, Rules, Collections, and exports require a free account during the launch promo. Pro is $39/year after the trial period.
